In recognition of Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine statewide stay-at-home orders issued on April 1 to protect Pennsylvanians and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, IotaComm initiated a range of policies consistent with government guidelines as the company's primary priority is to protect our employees and maintain continuity with our clients.

'First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families impacted by this insidious COVID-19 crisis and we are eternally grateful for all frontline workers putting their lives on the line to protect us all. The US will emerge from this pandemic a stronger country as we have in prior crises and it is our goal for IotaComm' business to follow the same path,' stated Terrence DeFranco, President & CEO of Iota Communications. 'The business landscape is changing due to these unforeseen circumstances and it is our goal to quickly adapt to what we believe will be a new normal. While we remain focused on our core mission of building a best-of-breed low power wide area network (LPWAN) to enable a vast assortment of IoT applications, we believe there are many new use cases emerging as businesses permanently alter their operations, particularly around employee health, asset management and sustainability. For example, we are seeing increased interest in our remote asset management product using indoor air quality sensors. This application uses sensors to gather temperature, humidity, CO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter to maintain healthy air quality levels and reduce energy consumption. The IoT will play a larger role in a new world and we believe IotaComm can benefit.'

'We set out at the beginning of this fiscal year to achieve the goals of reducing debt, streamlining and improving operations and positioning for network technology commercialization in early-FY2021 and those goals are still on track as we approach fiscal year end,' DeFranco continued. 'We are also focused on building upon these accomplishments to eventually uplist our common stock to the NASDAQ market.

For the period from December 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020, the Company raised approximately $7.0 million from the private placement of common stock and borrowings from accredited investors. The proceeds from these offerings were used for working capital, paydown of debt, and general corporate purposes.

'The COVID-19 crisis has impacted our fundraising efforts, but through a combination of accessing capital from other sources, accelerating previously planned cost-reduction initiatives and working with our partners and vendors we believe we will be able to continue operations until such time as we can revisit the capital markets.'

'While challenges still remain in the current environment, I am proud of our team's resilience and the outstanding job they are doing under these circumstances. We remain in continual communication with our customers and are fully supporting all services and have extended offers of assistance to all sales pipeline companies,' adds DeFranco. 'We are also in communication with local organizations within the community to make ourselves available to help in any way that we can. Taking care of the people around us, including our employees and their families, our customers, our shareholders, our vendors and our community is a core value and of even greater importance during challenging times'
